When we feel overwhelmed with emotions, sensations and disempowering stories, 𝘸𝘦 𝘭𝘰𝘴𝘦 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘱𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳 𝘰𝘧 𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘪𝘤𝘦. ⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
We lose our capacity to fully experience life and its ever-changing fluctuations.⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣So much of our suffering & overwhelm comes from rigid ideas that we don’t actually have the power to change how we feel & what we think⁣⁣⁣⁣

Our overwhelm is rooted in 𝙝𝙤𝙬 we relate to our sensations, emotions & thoughts⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
When we feel stuck by or victim to anything that’s uncomfortable, it’s an invitation from our body to go all the way into the essence of this process, not around it. ⁣⁣⁣⁣

Embodiment is the doorway to releasing the rigid ideas about how you feel⁣ and what you make it mean about you⁣⁣⁣

When we are truly present with what is alive within us, we can access the greatest potential through the 𝘀𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗲𝘀.⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
We are no longer trapped by our experience…and instead we create space for everything to be here…with presence and permission.⁣⁣⁣

Somatic practices empower us to earn our body’s trust to feel ⁣⁣⁣⁣

...to know that we will never be swallowed by our emotions. ⁣⁣⁣⁣

✨𝐏𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞 - Become aware of the sensations alive within your system. Our body holds archives of information in our physicality, the felt sense. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
🦶🏼𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 - Feel the weight of your body, here and now. ⁣Go into nature and connect with the earth, 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘶𝘭𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘢𝘭𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘮𝘪𝘴𝘵.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
🌬 𝐁𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞 - Every moment gifts us the opportunity to receive and release. It’s no accident that we can consciously control our breathing - this is the only system in the body that functions both automatically and it can be consciously influenced. It’s an invitation from the universe to take part in our evolution to shift our physiology.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
🗝 𝐌𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 - Organic movement is authentic alchemy in its essence. Ask the question “what is alive now?” and allow the answer to take your body. Allow your body to move you from the inside out. There’s no right or wrong way to do this. Just let your body come alive - give your body a voice, let it be heard. Expression is emotional digestion!⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
👁 𝐎𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭 - Look around your environment and take life in with all your senses. Your body naturally calms down when it sees that there are no external dangerous threats to your safety. ⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
💆🏼‍♀️ 𝐒𝐞𝐥𝐟-𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐜𝐭 - Create a container of safety and source your own comfort through healing touch. ⁣Touching our physical body is one of the most soothing things we can do for our nervous system, yet we're taught especially in Western culture that “you're weird if you touch yourself.” Self touch is an incredible tool of processing and digesting our emotions. Your hands are extensions of your heart - let this be a prayer of reverence.⁣
